Hellboy: The Crooked Man (2024)
When Hellboy: The Crooked Man was announced, it promised to be a return to form-leaning into the horror roots of Mike Mignola's comic rather than the blockbuster spectacle of previous adaptations. With a more focused story, a period setting in the 1950s, and Mignola himself involved in the screenplay, there was hope that this would be the Hellboy film that finally captured the eerie, folklore-infused tone of the original comics.
Dog Man (2025)
Dog Man is a delightful surprise, capturing the spirit of the beloved graphic novels in a way that feels fresh yet familiar. What truly stands out is the animation style - it's bold, expressive, and bursting with energy. The vibrant colors and dynamic movement bring the quirky characters to life in a way that feels straight out of the pages of Dav Pilkey's world. The animation perfectly complements the fast-paced, slapstick humor of the story, making every moment feel bigger and more exciting.
Captain America: Brave New World (2025)
Captain America: Brave New World was supposed to be a pivotal moment for Marvel, ushering in a new era for the iconic character. Instead, what we got was yet another lackluster entry in a growing list of Marvel misfires. After the cinematic highs of the earlier phases, it feels like the studio is still fumbling its way through a confusing identity crisis.
